Congratulations on the new book and fabric line at Jo-Ann's! I love the idea of the mix and match skirt and bodice patterns. Talk about endless possibilities. I hope I'm a lucky winner, m_koci@yahoo.com.

Hi Gertie,Congratulations on the new release of your book. I wish you the most success. I have to say it would be awesome to win a signed copy of your book and the fabrics. I love sewing and can't seem to get enough of your designs and flare for retro clothing. It would be awesome to receive something positive when I can't seem to get a break. Health wise, career wise, etc... Anyhow if I am picked you can reach me at devonne2780@yahoo.com . Thanks for the opportunity.

So excited about your new book! I've recently discovered your blog and have been going through posts from the beginning. I just got Gertie Sews Vintage Casual and love it! Thanks for the give away of copies of your new book. Please consider me, figleaves1976@msn.com. Thanks!

I have two of your other books and I eagerly await this one. When I was getting into vintage a few years ago, I was so pleased to find your efforts. My skills have improved immensely thanks to your blog, patterns, and books. Thank you for the inspiration. Nancy@brosstribe.com

¡Hummm! I don't know what's happened with my comment, so here I'm going again. ¡Congratulations on your new book release! I'm a fan. I love your books, your fabrics and your style. I've learned a lot from you ¡thanks! It would be wonderful having a signed copy. I preordered your book from Amazon and I'm looking forward to having it in my hands. Best regards from Spain. Fingers crossed: remediosgallego@gmail.com

Hi Gertie, Your new book just came through my door in Huddersfield UK. It is truly lovely! My daughters (19 -14 ) were eyeing up the tropical sun dress on your blog earlier in the week and have both put orders in. I love all of the feminine work wear and am ear marking all of them to give my wardrobe a little umph. I have read through to page 55 so far and guess what? it is interesting, the facts are going to be as useful as the dress patterns. I love it! Just wondering if you will be putting some of the lovely yellow hibiscus flower fabric in your etsy shop as I would love to get hold of some.

Congratulations Gertie!!!! I am a big fan of your job. I've taken all of your Craftsy and Creativebug classes and I own all of your books and Butterick sewing patterns. I' ve never bought any of your fabric because of the high shipping rates and taxes-duties. Your giveaway is super generous! Thank you!!! athinahassioti@gmail.com

Congrats! Must be exciting to see your hard work enter the world. I am so pumped to get my hands on your book. I own the other 2 also. I love your new line of fabric too! Martinalici [at] gmail [dot] com

I saw your new Butterick cirset-dress at the Puyallup Sew-Expo a couple weeks ago! It was especially pretty in person, and when I showed my mother the pattern she was very impressed by your tattoos. :)

AHHHHHHHH. It's finally here and the fabrics looook absolutely divine. I have your first books and I've enjoyed them so much but I'm looking forward to this so much. I've been really enjoying a lot of vintage movies and dying for more vintage inspired dresses. I'm hoping for a big pinch of a chance to win. You're a doll. Thanks for the chance. Xo heatherboley@Gmail.com

Yes!!! I've been eagerly awaiting your new book. Thanks for the give-away! PS. I was thinking for your next book it's be fun to see your designs for outer wear. I have a fantasy of those 50's and 60's matching coat and dress sets. Congrats on your success! meghann.white@gmail.com

Gertie! The new fabric collection is wonderful online, but even BETTER in person! I love how you created a few dirndl inspired choices; I'm a big fan of them as well! I'm sure the new book will be as comprehensive as the others have been. Thanks for giving us mid-century gals tools, inspiration, and resources! Congratulations!Kindly,Jaime Askvigjaimeaskvig@hotmail.com

Congrats on the new book! I've loved all your other books and I'm sure this one won't be any different. And your fabric line is so pretty. I'm kicking myself for not having bought that gorgeous purple knit while it was still around.

Congratulations on the third book! I will definitely be picking up a copy. I already own the other two. The new fabric line looks nice also. I picked up three of your Butterick patterns last week when they were on sale. :)

Yay! Finally your new book is released! I love your books and fabrics, and I wish they were available in Norway. But I guess I'll have to order them online instead :) I hope you will keep on writing books, because they are so good!

I just picked my copy up and can't wait to flick through it... perfectly coincided with my birthday :) I'd give my copy to a friend but I'd definitely keep the fabrics - I love them and unfortunately can't get them here in Europe!elentari95@yahoo.com

Gertie, What more could a girl want... 24 new dresses and the most beautiful vintage fabric to sew them in. I was lucky enough to get a copy of your book for my birthday :) even happier when I seen that it was a book full of dresses :) Can't wait to be able to get your fabric range here in Australia.krisowen6@gmail.com

I exclusively wear dresses and have been looking forward very much to this book. Winning one--and some of that smashing fabric to boot--would be remarkable! Either way, I look forward to the book--congrats!! deathbop (at) yahoo (dot) com

I am particularly excited about this book. My daughter is graduating high school this year and needs her prom dress. I'm also thinking about offering to make for any of her friends who need one, too. I can be reached at eowynsword@shaw.ca

I own Gertie's New Book to Better Sewing and Gertie Sews Vintage casual and I love, love, LOVE them! I have made so many adorable things (boatneck top, wiggle skirt, peter pan collar dress). I also love your fabric collections. I made a cute belted shift dress out of your cherry chambray fabric. Hooray for more sewing adventures to come!! natashaawhennes@gmail.com
